Here Are Our 15 Most-Read Stories Of 2015.

Here's something reassuring: Of our 15 most-read stories here at Central Track in 2015, only four of them are lists, and only one of them is a quiz.

That's pretty encouraging, we think. Maybe journalism isn't dead yet!

Less heartwarming is the fact that two of these 15 top reads are obituaries. That said, we were proud to have known the two people we wrote about in that regard this year, and we're pleased on some levels that it seems others similarly held these people in high regard.

As for the rest of what you'll see here in the below countdown of our top-read stories from the past 12 months? Well, they reveal that you people seem to dig some of our racier content and, well, if we ever post anything having to do with Girl Scout cookies, you're probably going to click on that, too.

Are there other insights to be made here? Probably! But that's on us here at CTHQ. You should just get to reading the stories you everyone else did that you may have missed.

Or, y'know, don't. We sincerely appreciate the time you've already spent on our site in 2015 as is. Seriously, thanks for making it possible for an independent entity like ours to do what we do. Y'all are the best.
